Review :
Trustin....you've done it again. Just the dedication is worth the read. The Eddie Cantor-George Jessel chapter was very touching. Trustin Howard, more than just a comedy writer, he's written this wonderful book....it's all here in this terrific page-turner. This book is an exercise in nostalgia and an interesting sidebar in the history of journalism. If there is a message for today's journalists, journalism teachers, and students, it is that there are people other than politicians who are worth covering. THIS IS AN EXCEPTIONALLY INTERESTING LOOK at two remarkable icons of the 30's & 40's. Winchell and Runyon were both journalists that had fans Nationwide, and these two men helped make Broadway in New York the legendary place it became. Trustin Howard found a connection between them that had never been previously explored. Trustin tells the story in the same staccato-style that Winchell used for his radio program...the twenty-nine chapters in this 147 page volume simply fly-by so swiftly that you can flow through the book in an evening or two. And you'll enjoy every minute of the read ! Trustin's writing captures everyone mentioned with the flair & colour that made them famous. In this wonderful volume, Trustin Howard has truly done justice to both his subjects and their professions, and, brought-to-life & recreated the era in which they lived and worked perfectly. "Winchell and Runyon: The True Untold Story" should be made into a play, or, a movie...it's that good!
